(my byline from the Gamedev Collection series, which I co-edited) John Hattan has been working steadily in the casual game-space since the TRS-80 days and professionally since 1990. After seeing his small-format games turned down for what turned out to be Tandy's last PC release, he took them independent, eventually releasing them as several discount game-packs through a couple of publishers. The packs are actually still available on store-shelves, although you'll need a keen eye to find them nowadays. He continues to work in the casual game-space as an independent developer, largely working on games in Flash for his website, The Code Zone (www.thecodezone.com). His current scheme is to distribute his games virally on various web-portals and widget platforms. In addition, John writes weekly product reviews and blogs (over ten years old) for www.gamedev.net from his home office where he lives with his wife and daughter in their home in the woods near Lake Grapevine in Texas.

If you just want to type TrueType text onto an image, you just use the text tool (the button that looks like a letter "A"). That's pretty much the extent of what you can do with TT using PSP. It won't import TT fonts, as it's not a font editing program.
So if someone sends me a .ttf file, there's no way to use that font in PSP9?
BTW, I don't know if I trust you after you dogged my "hot pink" engines [wink]

The simplist way of doing this is placing the file in the \windows\fonts directory
Dragging files into there should trigger most versions of windows to install it
It should then be accessable from all applications, although they may require restarts
Note that a newly-installed font won't automatically appear in PSP. Far as I know, you've gotta restart PSP to see the font.
